Earl Millard Ticer-Brownsville, Tx

I am trying to find my family's line on my father's side. He is Robert Dale Ticer of Brownsville Texas. His parents are Earl And Evelyn Ticer. I do not know anything further back yet. I have never known what country the Ticer name originated from. I see hear in this forum that a few name French origin. Does anyone know for sure?Thankyou for any help you may give.
